Thank you all. I hope my girl doesn't mind me sharing this, but it really cracked me up. This was what she wrote on the card to her dad.
Daddy, I hope you have a great anniversary! It's been rough over the years but you and mommy have gotten through it and I'm so happy that you did (I'm talking about the cancer). I don't think I need to say anymore words other than I love you!
